If you're with Trump you're anti American, anti humanity, you have crossed the Rubicon and gone to the dark side. I'm getting long in the tooth, and my time for suffering fools has passed. When I cut people out of my life it's forever. You can be a bigot or be my friend, but you're not going to be both.
Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything .
I stand for a Constitution grounded in The Enlightenment and the human race.
As for Trump supporting relatives, I tell them to get their DNA tested.

My family will always be my family regardless of their stupidity. But to each their own.

There are Trump voters in my extended family. They were fooled, and acknowledge it.
